Hi guys, For those of you who fish the W.Avon, how much bait are putting in? I'm concentrating my efforts on Barton again this year on the BAA waters. I'm always unsure if to feed very little and move after 30-45mins or sit it out in one swim and feed consistently throughout the session. To...

Hi all, What's everyone's choice for braid when it comes to hooklinks? I've tried the following: Korda Supernatural in 25lb (18lb was out of stock) Korda Basix, Drennan Gravel braid, Korum micro braid. The Supernatural seemed quite thick? And when cut it frays quite easy, the Gravel braid and...

Just seen this posted on BAA FB page about the W.Avon. Not sure of the website used for this info.

I've bought and sold so many rods now trying to find the one I like the most it's ridiculous. Managed to see a FS Barbel Tamer in person and thought the 12ft 1.75 was the one so quickly ordered one. Couple of days with it at home and didn't like how soft it was, up for sale it goes. So now I...

Hi guys. So this season I've switched over to the Guru dual tip specialist rods, I currently have the 1.25 and will be getting the 1.75 For those who have used these rods or own them, are they true through action? I've only ever really used korum rods and a couple of the Drennan specialist...

Hi all, What's everyone's set up for touch legering and rolling baits? You're gonna want a light rod if holding it all session so what are people using? Light Avon rods or even maybe power float rods? Reels? Is something around the 2500 sized more than enough? Enough to hold 100m of 10lb...

Hi guys, I think I've decided to try out a FS River Tamer, I'm going for the 1.5lb version first and will add a extra 2oz glass tip for clubbing. I have been using a 11ft Drennan twin tip duo which I find very light and well balanced so hoping the FS will be similar Fishing the W.Avon around...

Hi all, Not mentioning any brands but when it comes to deciding on a rod these days is it better to go off the test curves or the line/casting weight the rod has been spec'd with? I have a 1.25 rod that's been given a line rating of 6-12lb and a max casting weight of 3oz, now this is the same...

Hi guys, during my sessions I'm messing around trying different hooklinks too much rather than just sticking with one. So, what's the general choice? Braid Coated braid (tungsten coated too) Mono Fluoro And what sort of lengths? I try long ones just because that's what I've read but I don't...

Hi guys, After my last post about the Korum Omega rods I've decided to stay clear of their stuff now and budget isn't going to stretch to a Torrix so I've now got my sights set on the DV Elite in 1.5lb from the Tackle Box as chub and light Barbel rod. Anyone have any of the Elite range? Just...

Hi all, Has anyone used the Korum Omega rods? I've overly picky when it comes to rods, most 12ft 1.75 Barbel rods all feel tip heavy to me and not very suited to smaller rivers like the W.Avon where I fish. The Omega seems the best I've seen recently. I bought the new Drennan Barbel rod for...
